Robles y su homóloga irlandesa, Helen McEntee @HMcEntee, se han reunido en Dublín, donde, entre otros asuntos, han abordado la situación en el Líbano y la guerra en Ucrania, país al que, ambas coinciden, hay que seguir apoyando el tiempo que sea necesario.

Óglaigh na hÉireann can confirm that an operation took place to transport key Battalion personnel to United Nations Post 2-45 and to return Communications Specialists who had been performing critical maintenance to communication systems and infrastructure.
This was a joint operation in a volatile region, involving Army personnel of the 127th Infantry Battalion who conducted a patrol from UNP 2-45 to Beirut and the Air Corps flight crew of the C295 who performed the strategic air lift from Casement Aerodrome to Beirut.
This operation demonstrates the strategic reach capability of the Air Corps, as well as the capabilities of our Army personnel employing force protection measures to enable operations in a conflict zone.

"It's a bit rich of you to criticise the Irish Government for not acting fast enough when your own Government has done nothing on fuel increases in Northern Ireland."
@OCallaghanJim
@RBoydBarrett He actually did quite well. Thankfully he behaved like a statesman as opposed to your theatrical rantings. Theres a lot of jobs on the line over our relationship with the US.
Pathetic failure by Martin to challenge Trump justifying his illegal & murderous war. Cringe performance giving Trump the legitimacy of Ireland's national day to boast about his bombing & killing spree, setting the mid east on fire & causing hardship across world
A new report from the Economic and Social Research Institute has found that Ireland is significantly behind, and unlikely to meet, the targets set out in the Climate Action Plan for decarbonising residential heat

@Independent_ie The anti corruption commissioner that never told us he was getting the tax payer to pay his rent. Hard for the guards on the beat to listen to management posturing after that.
@HMcEntee Minister for foreign affairs and defence has no idea how we're going to evacuate Irish citizens from conflict zone. I guess we're going cap in hand to our neighbours again.
I understand a limited number of flights may depart Dubai Intl Airport this evening.
Passengers stranded in transit are being prioritised and airlines are in direct contact with those eligible.
We are continuing to monitor the situation and will provide updates as they arise.
@Independent Watched the movie. What that poor man suffered through growing up. And the elite have ruined his moment of recognition to fawn over their fellow millionaire celebrities.
The rip off continues. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s scandalous Rent Hike Bill kicks-in from today. 60,000 renters hit with massive increases every year. More hardship. More pressure.
This from a government that has the nerve to say it’s on the side of renters!
We need to stop housing policies being written for big landlords and vulture funds. We need to get rents under control, stop increases and make life affordable.
Oglaigh na hÉireann can confirm that Defence Forces personnel in missions across the Middle East, UNDOF, UNIFIL and UNTSO, are well and accounted for. We are continuing to monitor the situation across the region and our personnel remain committed to completing their mandated tasks.
@Independent_ie She was always all talk no action as justice minister. Lost track of how often she said 'I will not hesitate if...' yet never did anything meaningful.
@Independent_ie Solicitor: Free legal aid judge? My client qualifies.
Judge: Granted.
That's all it takes to get it. Never questioned. No statement of means, no salary certs. Just solicitors not under oath getting away with lying to the court.
@IrishTimes The Irish army had become a delicate bunch of pansies. No warrior culture. Great PR campaign showing an artificial reality. But any real soldiers will tell you is gone soft. Because management aren't expecting to get into a fight.
The Chair of the External Oversight Body in the Defence Forces has described the number of complaints of inappropriate behaviour including sexual and physical assaults within the Defence Forces or by its members as 'highly unacceptable'
